153: Suppressed by the Bone Temple... the Void Primordial Demon

The Void-Concealing Skeleton King shook its head helplessly: "I didn't. I was the last beast the master contracted, and my strength at that time was only at Rank 7, Stage 9."

If I could have reached Rank 8, Great Emperor Xuanyue wouldn't have had any chance for a sneak attack."

"It's said that to regain memories of one's previous life, one needs to be at least Rank 8."

It had to be said that over the past few days, the being underground and the Void-Concealing Skeleton King had taken turns educating Chen Fei, causing his horizons to constantly expand.

Suddenly, Chen Fei noticed something was off: "You're already Rank 4, Stage 7?"

It had only been out once and it had already leveled up; this speed was simply soaring.

The Void-Concealing Skeleton King took it as a matter of course: "Isn't that normal?"

"Previously, it was to guard my master's remains, otherwise do you think I would advance so slowly?"

"I used to be Rank 7. Although my strength has dropped, I still have all the necessary insights. I only need enough Spiritual Qi plus the assistance of Heaven And Earth Treasures to return to that Realm quickly."

"If this continent weren't so barren—I searched for a whole day just to find a marble-sized Chrono-Void Demon Ore—I could have advanced even further."

Chen Fei quickly understood what the Void-Concealing Skeleton King meant.

It was just like playing a video game; once you've reached a certain rank and then dropped down, it's very easy to climb back up.

However, starting from zero and climbing up is not that simple.

"I have one more question. Are you familiar with the Spirit Taming Continent?" Chen Fei asked the question he wanted to ask most.

Why were other continents so wealthy while this continent was so barren?

Even to Breakthrough to an Emperor Rank Beastmaster, one had to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation.

This question was something even the Void-Concealing Skeleton King couldn't explain: "I've never heard of any Spirit Taming Continent. It's not in the Three Thousand Great Worlds at all."

Chen Fei: ???

Could it be that we're just some unofficial, wild world?

It seemed this topic couldn't be delved into any further.

All night long, Chen Fei was like a curious baby, catching the Void-Concealing Skeleton King and asking questions non-stop... The next day!

The being underground finally couldn't help but speak up: "Kid, are you really not coming down? I have something here for that Gu bug's evolution."

Chen Fei perked up his ears: "What thing?"

The things this being could produce were definitely not simple, and might even be better than the resources of the Myriad Beast Sect.

"If you want to know, then come down!"

Faced with the other party's persistent enticement, Chen Fei remained unmoved.

"Sorry, Senior, unless you swear an oath, there's no chance for us."

The being flew into a thunderous rage:

"No chance my ass! I'm not into your kind, ΠΣΥΦΨΩαβγδεζηθικλμνξπ..."

"Hey, you're resorting to insults because you can't win the argument!"

"Scram!"

Chen Fei was blown away again, but this time he was prepared. He used Little Gu's crystal teleportation to move to another spot, saving his backside.

"This Senior is too short-tempered. He must have been fighting people all the time before he got Sealed."

"Kid, don't think I can't hear you just because you're far away."

Chen Fei quickly shut his mouth!

Being cheeky for a moment was enough; if he kept it up, it would be hard to end things well.

Another week passed.

When the being heard that Chen Fei would be leaving the Fierce Land in two months, he finally lost his patience.

"Kid, come down. I can swear a Heaven and Earth Oath."

Chen Fei chuckled; he had finally waited for this day.

Between a free person and a sealed one, naturally the one who was Sealed would be more anxious.

As long as he dragged this out, he didn't have to worry about the other party not speaking up.

"By the way, your Heaven and Earth Oath must include: you cannot harm me, you cannot harm my family or friends, and you cannot bring chaos to this continent..."

"Bah, you kid have way too many schemes!"

But in the end, the other party still agreed.

After swearing the Heaven and Earth Oath, the being gave an instruction: "By the way, remember to bring that grilled fish down as well."

Chen Fei: !!!

"Oh, so you were just craving it!

I guess you haven't eaten anything fresh for millions of years!"

"Hmph~ stop overthinking it."

With a Spatial Barrier in one hand and the shield of the Six-Winged Profound Kun in the other, Chen Fei finally dared to slowly descend.

However, he didn't encounter any danger along the way, or rather, the danger was temporarily suppressed by that being.

It made sense; with such a powerful existence there, only creatures that didn't value their lives would dare to live under his nose.

As he walked, Chen Fei saw two stone pillars, with two lifelike snake-shaped sculptures coiling around them.

They didn't look fake!

"Don't worry, these two stinky spicy strips only attack invading creatures above Rank 6."

Chen Fei followed the sound and finally saw the being's true form.

It was a demon sitting lazily on a stone chair, with white skin, red claws, demon horns, and red tattoos.

A wicked smile occasionally played on his face, and he looked somewhat familiar.

Oh, right!

Chen Fei suddenly remembered—wasn't this the demon he had seen earlier, the one patting the Profound Gold Fierce Beast's head?

So what exactly was going on here?

Chen Fei quickly opened the slaughter sacred codex:

【Void Primordial Demon

Strength: ??? (The target has the hidden ability of the Assassin Class.

Since their strength is far greater than the contractor's, even draining the contractor's Spiritual Qi would not be enough to crack that hidden ability.)

Attributes: Void System, Demon System, Crystal System, Assassin Class

Aptitude: Primordial Demon

Potential: ???

Skills: ???】

Chen Fei looked it over, and it was basically a sea of question marks.

However, the question marks themselves were a kind of information, indicating that the opponent was strong enough that the current slaughter sacred codex couldn't inspect them.

And his Aptitude was the Primordial Demon, which was comparable to a Divine Beast.

This was the highest Aptitude Chen Fei had seen to date, bar none.

The Void Primordial Demon urged: "Kid, stop staring and hurry up and throw the grilled fish over!"

Chen Fei had specifically grilled extra, and he brought them all before the Void Primordial Demon.

The other party wasn't polite at all, nor was he afraid of being poisoned, and began to taste them in large gulps.

"Mmm, it's been a long time since I've tasted the flavor of food..."

Seeing the Void Primordial Demon devouring the food, Chen Fei knew he had been craving it, but had been beating around the bush just to maintain his image as a powerful figure.

Chen Fei just watched him eat quietly, without opening his mouth to disturb him.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the Void Primordial Demon patted his stomach, feeling somewhat full.

"Ask away. I know you have many questions; they're written all over your face. However, I'll only pick the ones I can answer!"

Chen Fei rubbed his hands and chuckled: "First question, I saw your phantom in the space outside. What was that about?"

The Void Primordial Demon asked back: "What images did you see?"

"I saw you patting the Profound Gold Fierce Beast."

The Void Primordial Demon found a comfortable position to lean back in before explaining: "This entire space is actually influenced by my [Void] attribute."

"What you saw were just my dreams."

"It's just that they were imprinted by the rules of [Void], and then they might suddenly materialize at some point."

Chen Fei finally understood. It turned out that his life-and-death struggles in the outside world were just someone else's dream.

Who could he even complain to about this!
